Get Google voice and text for free with or without the aide of a cellphone. I never texted at all until I got google voice. Too hard to do on a cellphone.

nikki13, 11 Jun 2009do you get a bill at the end of the month for this phone or is it just the minutes you add and... moreIts strictly a prepay. I bought mine in an Atlanta wal-mart. I didn't know how to find my minutes on it. I went to a nokia store. A guy there showed me how. Three hours later I had journeyed to Paducah, Kentucky. When I tried for my minutes, it wouldn't get them. Never did again. T mobile store guy told me it as Nokia's fault. To demonstrate, he put my Sim in a shelf T Mobile phone at the store. He recommended I complain to Nokia. I called Nokia. They said the T Mobile guy's test was not a fair one. A shelf phone from a Nokia store has the entire T Mobile system programmed into it but a prepaid does not. If I had not turned my T Mobile on outside the 20 county Atlanta area, I would still be able to get my minutes
from the phone. But once you turn it on outside the TMobile territory the store clerk activated it in, one can't get their minutes again. No problem, I get them off the website. I bought 100 minutes at $.10 a minute on2/2/09, I've still got 189 minutes left on July 25th. My original minutes carry over until October 31st. If I add another 100 minutes there, I can carry over the old minutes and the new for an entire year without a refill. That's a very good deal.
